Atom Rhumba is a Basque band formed in Bilbao in 1996.
Their sound may be described as a mix of late 1970s New York rock (ROIR cassettes) and 1950s rock'n'roll fuelled by a strong and primitive rhythm section definitely influenced by James Brown.[citation needed]
All their members come from the metropolitan area of Bilbao. Although they had a constantly fluid line-up, Rober!, singer and main composer, has been in control of the band from the beginning.
Notorious for their incendiary live act, the raw sound of their records (they always play live in the studio) and critical acclaim.[citation needed]
